In One Piece season 1 episode 21, titled "Unwelcome Customer! Sanji's Food and Ghin's Debt!", the Straw Hats finally reach the Baratie, a floating restaurant in the middle of the ocean. Upon arrival, they are greeted by Sanji, the head chef of the restaurant, who immediately takes a liking to the beautiful Nami. However, their reunion is cut short when a group of pirates led by Don Krieg come to the Baratie seeking food and supplies.
Don Krieg is known throughout the Grand Line as the most brutal pirate to ever sail the seas. His pirate crew is massive and powerful, making them a force to be reckoned with. The Baratie staff tries to refuse Don Krieg's demands, but he threatens to destroy the restaurant if they don't comply.
The owner of Baratie, Zeff, is an old acquaintance of Sanji. He tells his head chef to prepare a feast for Don Krieg and his crew, hoping to avoid any violence. Sanji is reluctant to cook for such violent men, but he agrees in order to protect the restaurant and his fellow chefs.
As Sanji prepares the feast, he discovers that one of Don Krieg's crew members, Ghin, used to be one of his fellow chefs on a pirate ship. Ghin is in debt to Don Krieg and is forced to take part in his violent raids in order to pay it off. Sanji is saddened to see his former friend in such a situation and decides to help him out.
Things take a turn for the worse when Don Krieg's crew starts a fight with Sanji and the other Baratie chefs. The Straw Hats intervene and a massive battle ensues, with Luffy taking on Don Krieg himself.
The action-packed episode ends with Luffy defeating Don Krieg and his crew, with the help of Sanji and the other Baratie staff. Ghin is free from his debt and is reunited with his former friends on the Baratie. Despite the destruction caused by the fight, the restaurant is left standing and the Straw Hats continue on their journey with Sanji now a member of their crew.
Overall, "Unwelcome Customer! Sanji's Food and Ghin's Debt!" is a riveting episode filled with action, emotion, and great character development. It showcases the strengths of the Straw Hats as a team and introduces a new member to their crew. Fans of One Piece should definitely not miss this episode.
